Nurse Coaching/scope of practice question

[LevitateMe, RN]

I have a question for anyone that is operating as a Nurse Coach or Health Coach, or anyone that can answer for sure.

I have been thinking about doing freelance health coaching for clients, not contracting with a company but on my own. I have always been under the impression that an RN could not operate and call herself an RN outside of the direct supervision of a Physician.

However, while looking at the Texas BON website and Nurse Practice Act I come across this Position Statement #15.28 "The registered nurse Scope of practice"... It states:

"The RN takes responsibility and accepts accountability for practicing within the legal scope of practice and is prepared to work in all health care settings, and may engage in independent nursing practice without supervision by another health care provider."

My question is regarding that last statement "... and may engage in independent nursing practice without supervision by another health care provider."

Does this mean like in a practice while a doctor is not physically there or does this mean, on your own without reporting to anyone?

I looked on the BON website and can't find anything else. Anyone know who to ask about this type of thing?

Anyone working as a freelance health coach directly to "clients"?

I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks!
